In Mexico, at the world’s largest Volkswagen facility outside of Germany, workers are weighing the risks of a possible strike. The 6,500 workers build the Jetta, Tiguan, and Taos at the company’s Puebla plant. Their union, SITIAVW, is one of Mexico’s most storied independent unions, and is in the midst of the plant’s annual wage reopener negotiations. Days before the strike deadline of October 22, the company presented two proposals—offering raises of 7.98 percent and 7.95 percent for a one-year duration—which were rejected by the union.
